Ramayan 3D: Producer Madhu Mantena is all set for his huge project Ramayan, Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone are front-runners for Ram and Sita

MUMBAI: We have seen several discussions happening earlier for the Ramayan adaptation on big screens, but for some reasons the project was kept on hold    but now it seems producer Madhu Mantena is all set with his mega project and to shoot the movie in 3D.

Producer Mantena, who recently bought over the shares of Phantom Films from his partners Anurag Kashyap,Vikaramditya Motwane and Vikas Bahl is all set to fly solo , and his dream project Ramayan  would be his auspicious  flag-bearing  project.

According to sources Mantena’s big-screen Ramayan would be in 3D and budgeted at Rs 300 crores. Nitesh Tiwari who directed Aamir Khan in Dangal, will hold the directorial reins. The film would be of inordinate length, as no aspect of the holy scripture would be left undermined or left out. Or, Mantena may  release  the grand epic as two  full-length  feature  films.

Sources also claim that these are sensitive times. And the last thing the Ramayan needs is an underwhelming treatment or a revisionist screenplay.  Mantena has deployed several researchers to project absolute accuracy and preserve complete sanctity in his film version of the venerated epic.

The cast of A-listers is now being finalized. For now, Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone are front-runners for Ram and Sita. Ravi Udyawar who directed Sridevi’s last film Mom will also be associated with what promises to be an epic in every sense.
